Product Description

Product Description
Hitori is the latest puzzle craze from Japan ? a fiendish game of logic and numbers that will have you scratching your head and pulling out your hair. The rules are very simple, but don?t let that deceive you! These teaserswill put all your powers of logic and patience to the test. Players must shade in the grid squares until there are no duplicate numbers in a row or column. None of the shaded squares can touch except for diagonally, and all of the white squares must connect on at least one side. Nothing could be simpler? right? Varying in difficulty from easy coffee-break distractions to puzzles that steal your weekend, and with full instructions, tips, and solutions at the back, this book has everything you need to become a Hitori master. So sharpen your pencil, put the kettle on, and pit your wits against these puzzling giants!

About the Author
Dan Lindop and Andy Johnston, experienced puzzle designers and authors, take the reader step-by-step through the rules of the game and provide handy hints and tricks to help turn anyone into a Hitori master! Tougher than Sudoku, these puzzles are designed for the dedicated puzzler, but once you get the hang of how to play, they're completely addictive. Hitori is played on a grid of squares, each cell containing a number. Your task is to block out some of the cells so that there are no duplicate numbers in any row or column. Blacked-out cells also cannot touch each other, except diagonally. The other cells must all touch orthogonally, to create a single group. Exciting and addictive, these puzzles will allow the growing army of Sudoku and Kakuro fans to stay one step ahead of the game.

3.0 out of 5 stars Puzzles too easy, 20 April 2007
By pkx166h (United Kingdom) - See all my reviews
I have already reviewed Hitori 1 and the same complaint (about the lack of 'pure logic' in the way the problems are solved are still in this book) however it seems that the 'difficult' puzzles in this book - the hardest section allegedly - are really not that difficult to solve when compared to other Hitori books I have used.

I would say that by comparison, the difficult puzzles are as difficult as the moderate puzzles in the book by Gareth Moore and the Giant Book of Japanese Puzzles (both which I heartily recommend).

I had completed over half of the difficult puzzles of which there are only 25 (22 easy and 44 moderate) in less than 2 hours, with the other two books, I took on average 30-45 minutes on each difficult puzzle.

So, these are good books to start with (and the paper quality and binding is second to none - which is why i give it 3 stars and wish other publications were so well made) but for 'hardcore' hitori solvers, I can't really recommend this if only to get your fix without much work.
